Working with projects

SDL Trados GroupShare is a repository and server for projects that are published from SDL Trados Studio or which are created directly in SDL Trados GroupShare.

Working with projects in SDL Trados GroupShare

Once a project is created in SDL Trados GroupShare, you can:
  • View its status in the Projects view.
  • Open the project tab, and consult the project planning board and statistics.
  • Move the project files on the Kanban-style board to mark their workflow progress.
  • Create file assignments and your users can start working on their assignments in SDL Trados Studio.

The project planning board can be consulted when opening the project in its tab. The default view of the board is a Kanban-style view with the project files arranged inside columns representing the translation phases used in the SDL Trados GroupShare workflow. The alternative view of the board contains a list of all project files, where you can click the plus sign next to a file to check its version and comments. You can switch between views with the button.

The project statistics can be consulted when opening the project in its tab. The upper-right corner of the project tab provides:
  • An estimation of the project's status based on the number of translated segment
  • A chart with the percentage of files in each phase

Working with projects in SDL Trados GroupShare

Once a project is created in Trados Studio, it can be published to SDL Trados GroupShare in order to split the work on the project files among SDL Trados GroupShare users. All translation and review work is done in SDL Trados Studio.

A SDL Trados Studio project:
  • Holds information needed to translate files (e.g. translation memories or file type settings).
  • Has one source language and can have multiple target languages.
  • Has project-level settings and may have individual-file settings.
A SDL Trados Studio project that is published to SDL Trados GroupShare has a workflow which:
  • Defines the stages the project goes to until it is completed.
  • Defined the tasks that need to be done to move the project or project files through workflow stages.
  • Enables users to work on their assignments in SDL Trados Studio.
